    Be fair. They are buying non-EU food, wine (easy one this one) and electricity.

      So they aren't actually interested in supporting the British economy, all they want to do is to see others fail.

      If they were interested in supporting Britain, then they wouldn't be so hypocritical.

        Buying British food where I can, I drink Chilean wines mostly, and power from British Gas, which is owned by Centrica, a British company.

        Where possible I'd like my money to stay in the UK, not line the pockets of non-UK workers.

            Actually if you do truly buy British, you should be buying weapons, guided missiles and anti-depressants, because that's what the British make, and of course life insurance where your money is poured down the drain.

              I did get a sense of deja vu when I saw this thread, but it must have been a much later campaign than that for me to remember it seeing as I wasn't even born then.

              Difference now is that loads of 'British' companies are foreign owned, like all the major football teams (foreign owned, foreign manager, foreign players ). Are their fans going to boycott matches? Thought not.

              If it means having to buy 'artisan' tulipe with a massive markup to pay for the owner's beard oil, latest tattoo and a day-glow orange tan for their burd they can shove their campaign. Those are getting nowt out of me.
              Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

                Where do we stand on UK made products for foreign owned companies, are we allowed to buy those
                Contracting is like plumbing. You're your own boss until you walk into someone's house and they tell you to take your shoes off.

                  This thread is a classic demonstration of the fuckwittery of Brexiters.
                  Hard Brexit now!
